Lifetime Movies for Republicans Who Don’t Understand Rape

Republicans are airing sexual ignorances this week. Representative Steve King of Iowa has "never heard of" statutory rape causing pregnancy; Senate nominee Tom Smith thinks "having a baby out of wedlock" is "similar to" rape;  and, of course, there's Todd Akin. Have these guys never watched Law & Order: SVU or browsed movie listings on Lifetime? Rape narratives are a primetime TV staple these days, rivaled in volume only by Real Housewives and Ryan Seacrest's face.

To speed the sexual education of the GOP, we have paired ten Republicans’ ill-conceived rape comments with cinematic antidotes from the Lifetime TV oeuvre. Movie night at the Tampa Hilton, anyone?
